Public to outside CEU Recent scholarship has shown that the denomi¬national divide, although ever present and at times even violently so, did not stop people from forming ties and expanding in more intricate ways and forms than previously thought. At times, these networks functioned with what seems to be a disregard to the denominational and religious difference. This is by no means a simple and self evident statement. The theologi¬cal background regarding “other” faiths within each respective religion, strong social, religious and authoritative circles criticizing such contacts if not discouraging them altogether created a formidable opposition to these contacts and networks.
The workshop intends to address this situation from various angles and disciplinary approaches and to suggest possible avenues for explaining the phenomenon.
